"Where? Over here?" Daisy didn't expect Edward to tease her at this moment. She actually thought that Edward was hurt. She dutifully followed his instruction and moved her hands lower. When she reached his belt, Daisy suddenly realized something wrong. She blushed and instantly withdrew her hands as if she was burned. Without any hesitation, she lifted her leg and tried to kick him. But Edward anticipated it this time and deftly stepped aside to dodge the attack with a sigh. 'She's still as violent as usual!' Luckily, he was prepared this time.
But Edward had underestimated Daisy's wrath. She threw her fist to his face as soon as he dodged her kick. Edward couldn't believe that this violent and ruthless woman was the same person who was submissively leaning against his chest and kissing him tenderly just a few minutes ago.
Alright, maybe he went too far. Edward shifted sideways to avoid her punch.
"Whoa, the messy little piggy turned into a wild cat." Edward knew his words would only aggravate her, but he couldn't help teasing her. He wanted to see her angry face. As mush as he loved her sweet and gentle side, he also liked seeing her so energetic and wild.
As expected, Daisy struck again, quick and hard. If not for the limited space, Daisy might have geared up for a good fight against him.
"Okay, okay. Stop it. I'm tired." Sometimes surrendering didn't mean losing, and it was just another way to get what you wanted.
"Don't you dare tease me like that again." As soon as Edward said he was tired, Daisy stopped abruptly and glared at him. She knew how much work Edward had done today. Although she was still angry with him, she didn't try to attack him again.
"I wouldn't dare. Let's get out of here and have dinner, then I'll take you to an auction." Edward stopped teasing Daisy. He was tired after a long day at work, but he felt refreshed after horsing around with Daisy.
"An auction? But aren't you tired?" Daisy asked with a frown. She thought that they could go home so he could rest early.
"It's fine. I'm used to it anyway. Come on. Let's go have dinner. I'm hungry." Edward took her hand and led her out of the restroom. He moved back to his chair to grab his suit jacket and cellphone. As they were about to leave the office, Daisy let out a loud scream, startling Edward. He stopped and turned around to look at Daisy in surprise.
"Oh no! I completely forgot that we're supposed to pick up Justin! It's his first day at school and I promised him this morning! What should we do now?" Daisy glanced at her watch, turning to Edward in dismay.
"Relax. You were sleeping. I didn't want to disturb you, so I called mom and dad to pick Justin up from school." Edward shook his head. Justin's classes ended in the afternoon. Did she just remember to pick up her son now? He suddenly felt lucky that Daisy hadn't lost their son all these years.
"Justin must be very disappointed with me. Why didn't you wake me up?" Daisy hit her head with her palm in remorse. This wasn't good. She got so focused on Edward that she seemed to forget everything else when she was with him. His presence relaxed her and cleared her head of all her worries.
